i know i am new here but i wonder if anyone can help because i am losing the plot big time.

i had a hysterectomy at 24 i am now 32. I opted to keep the one good ovary i had so I didn’t have to go on to hrt. I wasn’t told 2 to 5 years after having a hysterectomy I would have to go on it anyway. After yet another lapascopy and blood tests they fine out that my ovary doesn’t work and I need hrt. Now a year on the hrt is not working I feel well no don’t feel think that’s the problem. I cant think I forget the simplest things and the words for things we see and use everyday. The hot flushes and night sweats are a killer especially when I am at work and people look at me as though I am strange. Most of the time I just want to sit on my own and cry and cry and cry till there is nothing left for me to cry with. I bite my kids and hubbys head off for the silliest things including breathing.

I have been on 3mg of oral hrt and its not working.
The gynae people say I have to have a bone scan and other things.
please guys help me if you can please feel like a am going mad

Hi, I would highly recommend the book ‘It must be my hormones’. The author is a doctor who treats women with bio-identical hormones and her book has really opened my eyes. There may also be some nutritional changes you can make that could help – what is your diet like?
